LOTRO F2P - Lord of the Rings Online

Anyone interested in starting some characters in LOTRO and playing for a bit?
There's a 'LOTRO Pickup' thread from 2011 but I don't think there's been much doing in the last year. I've never played myself, been playing for the last few days and finding it quite enjoyable. I've got a character on Withywindle if anyone wants to give it a try. It's free to play (pay to shortcut, but you dont need to spend anything)

I used to play this from release until just before the first expansion was released. Still is the best PvE environment I found in an MMO. Played both loremaster and minstrel and at the time of quitting had the second most PvP kills for a loremaster on the server. If there's a group doing this i'd be interested especially as I think I'm still in credit with their in game shop :)

It looks like some of the bonuses I had from owning the game before it was f2p only apply to characters I made before the change. Though I can't find a clear answer on what those bonuses are. I'll make a new character tomorrow, what classes have we got?

If anyone wants to make a metalsmith as a craft skill that would be helpful; certain of my woodwark recipes require iron bands or steel thingummers that I can't get anywhere else. I don't know if we need any specific classes; the most obvious requirement is that you play one you find enjoyable.
